Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What does Polly plan every week for Sunday dinner?

Answer: Roast Chicken

Mrs. Lagerlof thinks Polly is highly unoriginal for choosing chicken every Sunday. But she rationalizes that it doesn't matter much, since everyone in town has sour stomach after Sunday morning.
2. What caused all the commotion at the orphanage?

Answer: Boilers blew, pipes burst, and flooded everything

The mayor is upset and wants to rebuild a new building for the orphans, but Polly is insistent on fixing the existing problems and keeping the building intact. Harrington House has been a landmark in town and she intends to keep it that way.
3. What animal helps Pollyanna study how to chew during her fishing outing with Jimmy Bean?

Answer: A cow

This is right before she has a nice chat with Doc Chilton about Aunt Polly's hairstyle.
4. What is the first image on screen during the opening title sequence?

Answer: Boys skinnydipping

Pretty risque, even for its time! All the other events happen during the title sequence, but after the boys go for a dip.
5. How many "glad/happy texts" are actually in the bible, according to Rev. Ford?

Answer: 826

Pollyanna says her father counted almost 800, but Rev. Ford stays up all night and counts the exact number.
6. Which kind of charity basket did Pollyanna and Nancy actually deliver to Mrs. Snow, even though she always hopes for something else?

Answer: Calf's foot jelly

Mrs. Snow always wants chicken when given calf's foot jelly, and lamb's broth when given chicken. That's why Pollyanna is so shocked when Mrs. Snow "had her heart set on lamb's broth" when she delivers calf's foot jelly.
7. Who is the famous person connected to the quote, "When you look for the bad in mankind, expecting to find it, you surely will," which is inscribed in Pollyanna's locket?

Answer: Abraham Lincoln

David Swift, the director and writer of the film, admitted in the DVD commentary that when he visited Disneyland and saw them selling replicas of Pollyanna's locket, he had them pull them off the shelves, since he actually made the quote up!
8. What is George's alias?

Answer: Cousin Fred

Nancy assigns this name for George when she doesn't want Pollyanna knowing her boyfriend's real name. Later on, he calls himself, "Old Uncle George", but he must be a distant relative to Cousin Fred.
9. What word is missing in the key phrase, "_____ comes unexpectedly", which Reverend Ford preaches during Pollyanna's first visit to church?

Answer: Death

After a long pregnant pause, this is his first sentence in his sermon. It is also the last, but said with much more fury than in the beginning. Oh, and he manages to not forget the "amen" before stepping off the pulpit.
10. In what order did Pollyanna eat all the wonderful food during the Bazaar?

Answer: Watermelon, cake, corn-on-the-cob

Okay, okay, maybe I'm the only one who pays attention to the food. But it looks so good! How can you resist? Plus, Pollyanna never gets to eat hardly any of it!
11. What does Jimmy Bean think are the best things in the whole world?

Answer: Trees

After he tells Pollyanna this, he drags her to Pendergast's place to show her the best climbing tree in town.
12. Which couple is planning on getting married at the end of the movie?

Answer: Nancy and George

Remember? Pollyanna is going to be Nancy's flower-girl! (PS. Polly and Edmund never really establish much of their future relationship, other than the good doctor telling Polly that they can both give the love Pollyanna needs.)
13. What does Mrs. Tarbell complain about when getting off the train at the beginning of the movie?

Answer: Men smoking in the Parlor car

She tells her husband to write a letter to the president of the railroad, but all he does is shrug when the conductor stares at him.
14. What tools does Jimmy Bean use when fishing?

Answer: A bucket and a rock

He doesn't "got" a hook or any traditional equipment. And in the end, he gives up. Ironically, Edmund (Doc Chilton), who's fishing nearby, has all the gear that Jimmy needs.
15. What actually makes Pollyanna fall from the window?

Answer: She tries to reach for her falling doll

If she only left the doll on the ledge and climbed inside before reaching it, the silly girl wouldn't have fallen off! But then again, Polly wouldn't have seen her faults, fallen in love with Edmund again, and the entire town of Harrington wouldn't have seen how much Pollyanna meant to them. So, who am I to say anything?
16. What is Polly's favorite flower? The crowd of people coming to see Pollyanna at the end of the film make Mr. Thomas upset for stepping all over them.

Answer: Begonias

Mr. Thomas gets so mad at them for walking through the begonia bed, and he asks nicely to go around the tree, but they don't seem to hear him!
17. Harrington's nickname at the end of the film: "The ____ Town"

Answer: Glad

In case you didn't notice, Pollyanna's "Word of the Day" is "glad". Actually, it's more than just the day's word, but her mantra in life.
18. What book of the Bible did Polly "suggest" Rev. Ford use in his last sermon of the movie? He ended up going with the "Glad Texts" instead.

Answer: Matthew

Reverend Ford doesn't even bother to read the passages Polly sends, but instead, crumples the letter up, after Pollyanna's words about her missionary father reaches his heart.
19. What combination does Mrs. Snow order for her casket before Pollyanna gets upset with her?

Answer: White satin lining with brass handles

Mr. Murg is very delighted with her choice of brass, but isn't very happy with Pollyanna's upbeat attitude. When Pollyanna doesn't want her to die, Mrs. Snow says, "Bless you for that. Seems everyone else can't wait."
20. Who adopts Jimmy Bean at the end of the film?

Answer: Mr. Pendergast

Polly has nothing to do with Jimmy Bean. In fact, I'm sure she doesn't know who he is, other than being a little annoying boy, always looking for Pollyanna. But Mr. Pendergast is doting enough to help Jimmy get a haircut (even if Jimmy doesn't want it).
21. What is Mrs. Snow's daughter's name?

Answer: Mildred

"Millie" to her friends like Nancy. Angelica is the upstairs maid, and the name of the actress who plays Mrs. Snow is AGNES Moorehead.
22. What color dress does Pollyanna leave the dress shop actually wearing?

Answer: Black/grey, white, and red

Remember her cute outfit with the white puffy hat, that almost slips off her head when she steps off the curb? If not, you're probably mad at me for leading you astray with all those blue choices...sorry!
23. What is used in the procession to the bazaar?

Answer: Bicycles and chinese lanterns

Although there are trumpets present in the film's parade, George's "big-vision-come-to-life" is the chinese lanterns.
24. What name does Mr. Pendergast use for the prism novelty he sells at the Bazaar?

Answer: Rainbow Makers

Pendergast proclaims them "soon-to-be-patented. He better get on that before Mrs. Snow capitalizes on the "string-that-holds-the-rainbow-makers-up" market!
25. What is wrong with Pollyanna at the end of the film, which forces her to leave and have an operation?

Answer: Her legs are paralyzed

She can't walk, so Doc Chilton must carry her downstairs to say goodbye to the folks of Harrington.
